Caller ID announce

The caller ID announce feature lets you know who's calling
without having to look at the display. When you have an
incoming call, the handset and/or base speaks "Call from..."
and the name of the caller based on the directory or caller
ID information. If the caller's name is private or unknown, the
phone number up to the last 11 digits will be announced.
If the caller's phone number is also private or unknown,
no information will be announced. By default, the caller ID
